Show HN: Domainy – Monitor domain names for availability
A few use cases
- I'm monitoring all the other TLD domain names for which I would like to eventually acquire to protect brand names for the domain names that I already have (e.g. I have google.com and I want to make sure that I have google.abcde, google.edfg etc etc)
- I also want to know when some of the domains that I would like will expire and possibly become available, so I can quickly buy them if I can. Just because a domain is expired, it doesn't mean it's available right away. But still, I'd like to keep my eye on them.
- Sometimes, it's just super interesting to see when some high profile names are available through obsecure TLDs (e.g. twitter.beauty, twitter.accountant, twitter.dealer domain names are available. What would happen if I buy them and do something with it. Twitter will probably come after me, but hey, it's an interesting thought. Maybe they'll buy them off? I don't know. What other high profile names are available through other TLDs?
cheers!

Oh and multiple GoDaddy accounts would be nice. and Gandi.net has an API too.
Quick wish list; I’ve not tried it yet but I could see myself using it in the future. I’ve needed such a tool in the past.
- Login with google/gsuite
- API access
Your pricing seems weird by the way. Your free tier is super generous. I could see up to 5 free domains and have some features paywall gated such as automatically buying domains within a price range off Gandi or something.
Since domain tasting became prohibited it’s common to have large portfolios and wait for someone else to drop a domain they don’t know how to monetize. These lists grow to the thousands pretty quickly, especially when you make data based decisions.
That said giving away your domain list / strategy to a third party is a risk in of itself.
